Sleep Walking Elite - Scientology's Sea Org

Went back out to Sea Org Bay this evening. Good showing by them (P.I., two boom boxes, at least two cameras; OSA rep on scene). Ended up getting arrested. Its a long story. Does walking back and forth on a sidewalk with multiple (rather wide) stairwells constitute "blocking the exit?" We shall see what the judge has to say. Filmed on Sunday, March 8, 2015.

It's good to know that Scientology officially endorses Whitesnake as the theme music for their counter-protesting measures. "Here we go again" indeed.

That was the biggest group of goofy people I've ever seen together, holy shit.

$cientology killed my uncle.  That is to say, he committed suicide when he ran out of money, including a huge inheritance.

If they ever wise up and leave they’ll be prepared for immediate employment as flight attendants or a hotel concierge. They’ve already got the uniforms.

When you turned your camera to the guys filming you I died.

[jamesdevlin]

What a happy looking bunch, NOT. Tax the cult now !

[MsAli]

I literally would bring me rollerblades, smoke a joint and jam to all those great songs .... here i go again !!!!

[larrygreen]

Ron L Hubbard should go down in history as The BIGGEST CON ARTIST EVER . A sci-fi writer that told people his sci-fi book were real????

[katherinekan]

They try to intimidate non believers by acting like they are some tough CIA agents with their ear pieces and cameras recording and blasting music. Theses sad people who allow someone to control them is utterly pitiful!

[Adventure_all_the_way]

its as if they have never been loved and need a sense of belonging and power .. 21st  century mind control

[yomenow]

Darth, I admire you for going out as you do. I hope to join you anytime.

I was there once and security keeps an eye on you, once they told me, oh dont look at that guy picketing over there, he is just a Suppressive person. You are either in the building, in the bus or in you sleeping quarters, all manned by security who quickly comes running to you when the notice you looking at a picketer or trying to read the plaque cards. When they told me not to look because that is an SP, I thought no, it's the other way around you guys are the SPs, that guy with the plaque seems like a really good guy. Thank GOD I was able to get out.

[stretchenson]

if anything is blocking the public sidewalk, it's the offloading of the sea org hoard along with their legion of handlers, security, and camera operators. i'm guessing they will make a full court press and you will escape inconvenienced, but unharmed. the sight of so many lives voluntarily wasting away in the über cult is indeed depressing. keep fighting the good fight.

[michigananon]

That's some fucked up shit. Good luck, and thanks for all you do.

[MJMallen]

“We don’t think. Dave tells us what to do. We are lemmings. Hip, hip hooray!”

[Dream_Salesman]

Why are they always fucking pointing cameras at you? Is that supposed to be intimidating or something?

[rustymotor]

Poor Buggers, look like dressed up Zombies. Wonder if farting is allowed on the bus, might end up in the hole as punishment.

[PancakeSally]

They have the Whitesnake going, playing "Here I go again on my own . . ." PERFECT for the defectors!!!

[VladProdigious]

I counted 6 smiles out of the whole lot. To be quite honest, I think the rest looked uninspired, more or less miserable and basically unhappy.

P.S. It saddens me to say that they remind me a lot of people on the streets in my home country (where, by the way, Scientology's European headquarter is located). But let me stress that I do Not think my fellow citizens' absence of happiness and lack of enthusiasm for life has anything to do with Scientology.

What's happens to Sea Org members who reach retirement age? Is there a retirement org? There's no 401K, no homes, and they made only $2600 a year. Are they expected to keep "on course" until they drop dead?
